CONFIGURING THE HOST COMPUTER PORT
3.4 HOST COMMAND TIMEOUT
The Host Command Timeout is the user-selectable time period that guarantees
a response from the adapter will be returned within that limit. If the adapter
has not received a response from the secondary device before this time period
expires, the adapter will return the ERROR RESPONSE to the host computer.
This time-out function operates with either host communication protocol for the
time-out values shown in Table 3–4.
Note that a timeout value of 0 seconds signifies that the adapter will not accept
any host commands since the timeout occurs immediately. When the Host
Command Timeout is set to 0, the adapter is configured in the Standalone
Network Manager (SANM) mode.
